Might be a dumb question, but i can't locate the FILE Manager anywhere on my stock tablet S.
I don't want to install additional file manager yet.
Also, is there any way to get rid of the "reader" icon on top left beside rooting the thing?
The only file manager(ish) thing is File Transfer. I use File Manager HD (Tablet) from the Market and it works great and uses Honeycomb theme.
For the reader and other icons, hold down and then drag them off the bar and you can then put other icons in their place if you want.

Hello guys! The dev just released a new version with a new feature called Shortcuts.
Now, with that and using this shortcut creator, I want to make a shortcut to certain folders in my SD card (e.g. dropbox, download, etc).
Is that possible?
IDK which file manager you use, but with Astro File Manager, you have always been able to do that. Just long press screen, add shortcut, select astro, and long press the folder you want to add.
I'm a new forum member and a relative noob when it comes to all things Android and Tablets and Nook Tablets. I have a an unrooted Nook Tablet and need help with a few things,please.
1: I use GoLauncher as my launcher and I have all my apps in folders on my homke screen, but the folder icons are small. Any way to make them larger?
2: How do you install an app to the sd card. When I download an app it loads into the Nook. Also, how do you install an app from the sd card?
3: When I access my sd card and I long press a folder the only option I get is to delete the file. The Nook manual says that a menu should pop up.
4: Also,I see no "app" folder on my sd card. Where is it?
Thanks for any help as my old brain does not work like it used to. Also, thanks for all the info contributed by everybody that I've already gleaned from this forum.

Since you are not rooted (and neither am I), I will assume you followed instructions to install basic apps like the launcher and a file manager by emailing them to yourself. I will also assume you have installed an sdcard. The file manager will allow you to explore the contents of the card. Find a folder called MyFiles or similar. This is where to pur downloaded apk files.
Use your desktop computer to find and download apk files. Now move the files from your desktop to the Nook. Some folks will plug the Nook into the computer, navigate, and drag and drop from there. Others, like myself, will do it wirelessly via Dropbox, FTP or a simple WiFi client. Search for "WiFi File Transfer apk" to do it this way.
Once the apk is in the Nook, use a file manager to navigate to it, tap on it and the package installer should pop up. Install. If the package manager offers to move the app to the sdcard, do it.
BTW, my "old brain" is 69. Find me on Facebook "Don Birdsall" and I'll help you more.

Is there an app or widget that will show me what files are located in a folder? For example I have a folder called DOCUMENTS. I want a widget that will allow me to scroll through the files in the folder, pick a file and open it in one of the Office apps. I know I can go to a File Manager app and hit a few directories and get it that way I am but just looking for a short cut to a specific folder.
I am ONLY looking for a single folder that I have my project files in for work.
Here is an app that kind of does what I am looking for (searches the SDCARD for predefined files) but doesn't work on ICS as I tried it.
Data Folder

I solved my problem of putting a shortcut for a folder or file on the home screen.
The answer is here:
Shortcut for Folders-Files on Home Screen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1463707
I am a little surprised this functionality isn't built into Android already for shortcuts or in the more "popular" file explorer apps.
Hi,
is it possible to add some files (.pdf, .doc, ...) on home screen? I was only able to add folder, but do not know how to add files to folder for example.
Thanks,
Rok

sorry,does not see
Use ES file explorer.
You can long click on any file and then choose ×´shortcut".
Go back to your homescreen and you'll see the file there.

You can do this in a number of ways. I normally use Root Explorer, or I sometimes use Tasker.
The easiest is to use Root Explorer (other file managers may work the same). Just navigate to a file and long press on it and choose 'Create shortcut' from the context menu. The shortcut is automatically put on your homescreen and you can then add it to a folder (screenshot attached).
Thank you all.
I used ES file exlorer.

I used to have n95 until now and was satisfied with it. Even though performance of s3 is amazing, I find it "little funny" for the price of over 600€ that I have to install few apps to just do "basic stuff" like:
- create shortcut on home screen for a file
- send SMS to more than 10 people at once

Using Cyanogen 7.2
1. "Downloads" application (v2.3.7) says there are no downloads. If I use file manager I can navigate to downloads folder and see the files there. I read something saying Downloads application will only display files that were downloaded with the default android browser - is this correct? I use Firefox and will occasionally be using the light version of Opera.
2. Workaround if question in 1 is correct would be to create a shortcut to the downloads folder on home page, using file manager. However, the file managers I've tried "File Manager" built into 7.2, and "Open Manager" apparently don't allow shortcuts to be created.
Is there another open source file manager that allows shortcuts to be added to home page?
Would really appreciate any help with this, thanks
I know es file explorer offers this,,, and is quite awesome,,, not sure about compatibility on cm7 but i would think it's fine
